Is digital back the only viable digital solution for 645? Pentax has always
been saying that 645 is designed as a superior FIELD camera.
I don't think a digital back as final 645 solution make much sense. Firstly, you can
cut 25% off the 645 size be removing the film insert.

No it is not two small sensors glued together, at least that I have heard.
Most of these ICs have leads coming out all four edges so it would be hard
to do that (we are talking the chip now, not the package). Big chips have
